Yeah, I use shampoo on my balls, ass, front, armpits and hair. Back is a pain so I don’t and I pretend the arms and legs don’t exist cuz I can’t be bothered.

LordKitsuna@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoYou would be shocked how bad most people are at cleaning themselves. They think just being under running water is enough or only wash upper with soap and the “rest runs down and gets washed”
Been washing my balls n ass since junior high and guys would look at me like I’m insane when i mentioned i shampoo downstairs, is how i came to find out most of them don’t even do basic soap let alone scrub down there

Shampoo is specialized detergent in solution, you can just use regular soap if you don’t care about damaging the hairs. Also, hot take, most shampoos aren’t worth it in the first place over bar soap if you have short hair.
Now if you do want your pubes and ass hairs conditioned that’s another thing but you also need to be using conditioner for curly hair the structure of the follicles is different.

It’s generally recommended no to clean your hair too often with shampoo anyways I think. Some people substitute the shampoo, with only conditioner sometimes.

Interesting, didn’t know those details, I’ll try it out with just a bar of soap, but I did find that I enjoy e.g. the feeling of my hair when I use my current shampoo (Head & Shoulders) instead of some others, and I feel like it’d be significantly easier to spread with a liquid shampoo rather than a bar of soap.

You should get one of those Japanese exfoliating washcloths. They’re long enough to get your back easily.

Instead of showering I just roll around in garbage, it fortifies the skin against bees and keeps dangerous people away. It keeps all other kinds of people away too which is a nice bonus.
